  • McNabb Can Play

    100+ degrees in Tampa. The Eagles are losing. McNabb throws a touchdown, pukes, recovers, throws another touchdown. That’s pretty cool.

  • Where Did We Go Wrong?

    I woke up this morning, and found out my new baby daughter had set up a myspace. http://www.myspace.com/poopiegurl06

  • One week later…

    Leah’s doing fantastic! She’s eating well, very alert and much loved by her siblings. Everyone is asking “does she sleep through the night?” Um, no. Newborns do NOT sleep through the night. Newborns eat and poop through the night. But, these things indicate that she is thriving and I don’t mind waking up every two […]

  • Utterly Defeated Super Mario Brothers

    Two weeks ago, my wife let me purchase a Nintendo DS for something to keep me busy during my long flights overseas. Today, I completed the New Super Mario Brothers games. By defeated, I mean I earned three stars by beating the game, grabbing and spending every gold coin, and defeating every level (including alternate […]

  • Peer to Peer Loans

    A couple months ago, I came across an interesting concept on the Internet, and now that I’ve got a little bit of money to play with, I’m considering looking into it. The website is prosper.com, and the idea is what they call “people-to-people lending”. The concept is that banks make a lot of money lending […]

  • How to Make a Toddler Sandwich

    While I like to encourage toddlers to eat without help, a problem they seem to have is gaging how much food to put in their mouth while taking a bite. I know from experience that it’s certainly not cool to have to stick a finger into the mouth of a gagging shark to try to […]

  • Kid Quotes – Aug. 19

    Tabitha : “Aiden, you’re a domino!” Aiden: “No I’m NOT!” Tabitha: “Yes you are – you always fall down!” — Tabitha: “I know everything.” Thomas: “Do you know where God came from?” Tabitha: “no….” Thomas “Then you don’t know everything.”

  • A Bloody Nuisance

    Found on the Internets with no attribution… The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and Security threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” Londoners have not been “A Bit Cross” since […]

  • Whispers and False Accusations

    “Besides, since it is not at all fitting for us to be upset every time our doing well brings bad reports to our ears, so it is only those who are troubled by their own guilt who show themselves unduly credulous by listening to whispers and false accusations” (Calvin, Concerning Scandals, p. 90). [quoted in […]

  • Non-Christian Cynicism

    One afterthought on my last post. My friend that I mentioned in the last post commented that cynical humor is often the bailiwick of modern non-Christian humorists. While non-Christian cynical humorists agree with me that people (at least Republicans) are inherently sinful, their ability to laugh at the sin comes from their nihilism. They can […]

  • A Haiku

    green tea in my cup cold awakening my mind how i miss Japan

  • You’re Pitiful

    Weird Al has posted his new song online, entitled “You’re Pitiful“. It’s a parody of that annoying “You’re Beautiful” song.

  • Sumo Health Exercises

    I’m going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. After all the lastest health fads like Atkins and Tae Bo, America is in need of a new health fad. Submitted for your approval, “Sumo health exercises“.

  • Interview with Ralph Smith

    When Sarah and I travelled to Tokyo together (twice in the last couple years), we were blessed to be able to worship at Mitaka Evangelical Church. I found this inteview with Ralph Smith, the pastor of Mitaka, on WordMP3 via Mark Horne’s blog. It’s short (about 10 minutes), but it’s an interesting interview about missions […]

  • Asides

    By the way, this is what an “aside” looks like. These are where I can put random little musings like the following: During my upcoming trip to Japan in August, I’m planning to hike to the top of Mt. Fuji. Now, I’m a bit worried about trying to get my 300 lb frame to the […]
